I hope this kind of story shows other communities how necessary libraries are. I was thinking of going to school in Toronto, to study library science, now I am not so sure. I am sure the city government doesn't completely affect the university but I want to be able to be in a supportive community.
It's too bad that the really important things in life aren't quantifiable. It's also too bad that all things in life need to be quantifiable to be considered important. I mean, how important is it that the company I work for sell five million dollars worth of widgets? Who cares? Economists might, but I ask; what's more critical, a country that has buying power or a country that has mental power?
To me it's common sense.
